An Overview

At the August 2016 Business Meeting, the church unanimously approved the creation of a Faith Formation Team. We have been working behind the scenes to create a system in which small group activity will begin. Here's how it works:

There will be three small group sessions a year: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Each session will have an open enrollment season in which members propose small group ideas to the Faith Formation Team. The team will work with staff to aid in the advertisement and space accomodations for each approved small group. Here is an overview of how the yearly calendar will work:

December - January: Open Enrollment for Spring Small Group Proposals

Februry - April: Spring Small Groups Meet

May: Open Enrollment for Summer Proposals

June -July: Summer Small Groups Meet

August: Open Enrollment for Small Group Proposals

September - November: Fall Small Groups Meet
